Question

Amelia charges $35 for 3 hours swimming lessons. Addison charges $24 for 2 hours of swimming lessons. Who offers a better deal

Answer 1

Based on the information given in the exercise, you can determine who offers a better deal by calculating the amount of money each one of them charges per hour.

Let be "m" the amount of money (in dollars) Amelia charges per hour and "d" the amount of money (in dollars) Addison charges per hour.

Using the information given in the exercise, you can set up the following equations:

`\begin{gathered} m=(35)/(3) \\ \\ \\ d=(24)/(2) \end{gathered}`

Solving the division in each equation, you get:

`\begin{gathered} m\approx11.67 \\ \\ \\ d=12 \end{gathered}`

Then, you can determine that the answer is: Amelia offers a better deal.
